• Maintain pipeline hygiene, including required fields, stage alignment, probability accuracy, values, and timelines.
• Ensure opportunity progression aligns with Chartis’ Shipley-informed capture stages.
• Produce pipeline reports and dashboards to support leadership reviews and growth planning.
• Identify early-stage opportunities through customer forecasts, market research, agency buying trends, contract vehicle pipelines, and partner inputs.
• Support opportunity qualification by capturing key data elements such as customer, scope, contract vehicle, timeline, incumbents, and competitive landscape.
• Assist vertical owners and capture managers with early go/no-go inputs and readiness assessments.
• Partner with multiple vertical owners to help build, maintain, and mature their respective pipelines.
• Support capture managers with opportunity setup, data entry, updates, and early capture documentation.
• Coordinate across BD, capture, proposals, operations, and finance to ensure pipeline data reflects real execution status.
• Support standardization and improvement of BD and pipeline processes, templates, and reporting.
• Maintain capture artifacts aligned to Shipley principles and Chartis’ internal BD process.
• Identify pipeline breakdowns or data gaps and proactively recommend improvements.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
• 1–4 years of experience supporting business development, capture, sales operations, or pipeline management.
• Hands-on experience with Salesforce or a comparable CRM.
• Basic working knowledge of the Shipley capture methodology and federal opportunity lifecycle.
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with structured data.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while supporting several vertical owners.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in federal contracting (IT, communications, engineering, or professional services).
• Familiarity with federal contract vehicles (IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs).
• Experience producing pipeline or forecast reports for leadership.
• Interest in developing into a BD Manager or Capture Manager role.
